Hello folks,

I have just released version 2.1 of Exuberant Ctags, which now provides
Java support, as well as auto-detection of the language (e.g. C, C++,
Java) of the source files. This now allows the user to use a command line
such as "ctags *", and have ctags only examine those source files which it
understands, while ignoring non-source files (object files, etc).

Please note that the timing of this release was in no way intended to
upstage Claudio Fleiner's announcement of "jtags" yesterday. The timing on
this is purely coincidental, as I have been working on adding Java support
for several weeks now. I would like to thank Claudio Fleiner for making
his jtags command-line compatible with Exuberant Ctags.

One distinct difference between Exuberant Ctags and Claudio's jtags is that
Exuberant Ctags is released under the GPL, whereas jtags is owned by IBM.
